Vivo V40 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo V40 5G - beauty that doesn't require big expenses

Sometimes mid-range smartphones give other flagships a run for their money in terms of design. These words may well be addressed to representatives of the V-series of phones from the Chinese company Vivo. The hero of today's review will give you, in addition to an attractive exterior, an excellent display, excellent performance and many other advantages that are important for the modern user.

As mentioned earlier, the new product looks more expensive than its real price tag. This is due to the stylish camera block, well-chosen colors of the rear glass panels and, of course, thin screen frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner. The frame of the case is plastic, but stylized as metal, the ergonomic monoblock received moisture protection according to IP68 standards. This is rare for the price category. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel has not only an excellent resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels for a diagonal, but also a crazy brightness reserve of 4500 nits, an up-to-date 120 Hz refresh rate and flawless color reproduction. Of course, the oleophobic coating of both the glass and the protective complete film is not forgotten.

The selection of technical characteristics does not raise any questions. The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 CPU, 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and the Adreno 720 graphics core are very close to a million points in the AnTuTu benchmark, while also pleasing with energy efficiency. Thus, the buyer and stable gameplay in Fortnite, Zenless Zone Zero receives with immodest graphics settings, and up to 9-10 hours of active screen time. At the same time, fast charging at 80W reduces the time spent at the outlet to 40-45 minutes. The permanent memory is 128/256/512 GB. There is no slot for MicroSD cards, so it is recommended to choose the option with the largest ROM capacity.

The main photo modules are a 50-megapixel main Samsung ISOCELL GNJ sensor with hybrid stabilization and a wide-angle lens of the same 50 MP. The cameras cope with their duties with dignity, even evening photos and videos are not devoid of detail, are not replete with noise. But the lack of a telephoto lens will definitely upset sophisticated fans of mobile photography. Stereo sound is present, it does not lack volume. There is also contactless payment NFC, modem support for 5G networks, but wireless charging is left for flagship devices. But even with a number of minor flaws, the device has every chance of becoming a hit, because it is very difficult to find such a beautiful and technological gadget at a reasonable price.
